108 With Love to Muhammad sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn<br />

Muhammad sa and he cannot be called the “last man” in terms of<br />

time.<br />

The only option left is number 3. That is the most logical<br />

understanding of this hadīth and each and every Ahmadī is<br />

willing to accept that the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa is the last<br />

man to be born of his status. No one can achieve his status after<br />

him.<br />

Hadīth Numbers 7 & 8 – Al-Muqaffā<br />

انaرولaااللهaaااللهaہaوaمaaاaہaأاءaالa<br />

أاaحدaوaأحدaوaاaوaاحارaوaبaاتوبۃaوaبaارحۃ<br />

Allāh’s Messenger sa mentioned many names of his and said: I<br />

am Muhammad, Ahmad, Al-Muqaffā, Al-Hāshir, the Prophet of<br />

Repentance, and the Prophet of Mercy. 98<br />

تaرولaااللهaaااللهaہaوaمaولaأاaحدaوaأحدaوa<br />

اaوaاحارaوaاخاتمaوaااب<br />

Farhan Khan’s Translation: I heard the Messenger of Allāh,<br />

may Allāh bless him and give him peace, say, “I am<br />

Muhammad (The praised one), Ahmad (The praiseworthy), Al-<br />

Muqaffā (the last in succession), Al-Hāshir (the gatherer), Al-<br />

Khātim (The Last), and Al-‘Āqib (The last).<br />

Neither of the above ahādīth states that the Holy Prophet<br />

Muhammad sa was the last prophet. The translation of the word<br />

Muqaffā as “the last in succession” by Farhan Khan is just what<br />

it is - only a translation! It is based upon the opinion of Farhan<br />
